Re: Metaphor: ReFantazio, Persona Director Katsura Hashino Is Already Grinding Out a New JRPG

These guys do great gameplay but I've never found the general dialogue to be good. Every game they do, the writing is so dull - loaded with exposition and patronising helpers that repeat themselves. Except for Louis in Metaphor. Probably my favourite antagonist in JRPGs.

Metaphor has a really fleshed out encyclopaedia. A dev only does something like that if they intend to make a franchise. There will absolutely be more games in this world. I just hope it deviates even further from the Persona formula because I've burnt out on that years ago.

Re: TV Show Review: Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft - Globetrotting Animated Adventure Edges Lara's Arc Forward

Lara isn't as vulnerable as people say in the reboot games. If you play well she's a total badass in Rise, taking out groups of men like a sharpshooting Ninja. She's not whiney either. I mean at one point she was about to be shot down as an outsider and then said she understood their decision. Even though I'd be less understanding.

Literally all she's missing is the dual pistols. Which is a shame.

Re: Poll: Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?

Cool thing about consoles is you plug n play. Years of PC gaming and nearly every game I got had some stupid issues that required Web searches and 1+ hour to resolve, if there even was a resolution.

The pedestal people stick PC on is too high.

The Pro isn't just a small difference over the base, and it isn't the price of a good gaming PC That's some real sour grapes.
